A Healthy Scalp Encourages Healthier Hair

Healthy scalp, healthy hair

Having long, thick and luxurious locks is the dream for most of us. Many styling products, treatments and masks promising to create healthier, stronger hair, however, do not treat the scalp which is the first step to encouraging longer and healthier strands. 

In order to grow healthy hair, you need a strong base which means a scalp that is healthy and nourished. The scalp produces natural oils that keep the hair and skin hydrated. If your hair is naturally dry or brittle, you want to avoid shampooing your hair every day because it can strip the scalp of its natural moisture. While shampoos are meant to remove oil and debris from the scalp, conditioners are meant for the hair shaft. Avoid applying conditioner to the scalp because it can clog hair follicles and weigh down strands. 

Many of us use styling products daily which can leave residue. When this residue remains on the scalp, it prevents hair from growing in easily. To remove this debris, use a scalp treatment such as Rene Furterer Complexe 5 Regenerating Plant Extract. The formula purifies the scalp and improves microcirculation to encourage healthy hair growth. 

If your scalp is at all sensitive or prone to conditions such as eczema and psoriasis, the ingredients and fragrances in your hair products may be causing irritation. This irritation can cause itching and scratching while preventing healthy hair growth. Free & Clear Shampoo and Conditioner are free of irritating chemicals so they are safe for even the most sensitive skin types. 

Sometimes the scalp needs a boost to encourage healthy hair growth. PHYTO Phytocyane Treatment Revitalizing Serum is packed with botanical extracts that stimulate circulation and nourish the scalp. Studies show that 85% of users saw a reduction in the amount of hair loss as well as shinier, fuller and thicker hair. 

Another good way to treat the scalp is from the inside out with dietary products such as Viviscal Professional Supplements. This product works with the hair’s natural growth cycle to improve thickness, strength and length. The formula contains AminoMar, a marine complex that delivers essential nutrients to nourish the scalp and hair.
